I use Mohamed name which is the most common name in muslim world (1.2bn) just i wanted to know the reaction of non-muslim people to my questions.The majority of the answers were racist and impolite;they lack the spirit of democracy and the respect of the other's opinion.They were narrow minded-almost know nothing about Islam and the international issues.they were filled by hatred.I just wanted to know how non-muslim people think and what level of dialouge they have.I noticed the majority do not have their own view;they just repeat some terms used by some politicians and the bias media.
My advice to all .Try to analyze and understand.The big question is WHY should be always raised to understand.Do not let the others think instead of you and you just say what the others say like a microphone.
Many thanks and respect to the minority that have showed high level of thinking and humanity.

Some people undoubtedly do have a low level of education and culture but you have to take into account the fact that there are young people using this site who are still at school, there are others for whom English may not be their first language and they may have difficulty communicating as clearly as you do. Some people may not have experienced any culture outside of their own, not necessarily through choice but because this is the way of life for them. There are of course some people who are just stupid.
I had a brief look at some of the questions you have posed and the answers you have received and whilst it is clear that some of the answers are racist and uneducated there are some good points raised. For example - you stated that Islam has grown threefold in the US since 9/11. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't - I don't know. To many such a statement is inflammatory and gives the impression that you are belittling the USA and condoning the terrorists responsible. This automatically puts people on the defensive and you're inviting condemnation. Imagine how you would react to someone who condemned Islam or was disrespectful to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
What I'm saying is that you've brought some of this on yourself. Think about the impact your questions and answers are going to have, how they might be (mis)construed and (mis)interpreted.
Unfortunately, whatever question you ask there are going to be some people out there who are going to insult you simply because of your name - they don't know you, they don't know anything about you but that doesn't matter. These are the uneducated and uncultured ones.
Keep asking the questions and if you make statements then substantiate them. If people read something that disagrees with their beliefs or ideas they'll discount it as being made up, propaganda, lies etc so quote your (reputable) sources.

That's probably because here in america everyone is racist. Everyone. I admit I'm slightly racist but we all are. I however do accept and understand other cultures, religions and views. I'm racist against politicians mostly. Most people on here are very narrow-minded and will disrespect you. White americans treat each other like that every day. So don't think it's just because your name is Mohamed that people hate you and treat you this way. They really treat everyone this way. I would barely call most people human anymore, they have no respect or dignity for human nature. It's sad how lacking america is in culture and education.
Most people are intollerant and uneducated. I wish schools taught more about culture and other countries. Maybe we'd have more tollerance. Not even democrats believe in democracy. Most people have a level of dialogue equal to a 12 year old child. I think statistics show that nearly half of americans show an 8th grade level of education and that a very minor amount of people actually have a college level of knowledge.
People are dumb and ignorant. That's the only truth to this world that will never change.

Hey... for the most part, the people on here are Americans and the whole world knows we are a bunch of raciest, flag waving rednecks.
